Duties on acquisition of property:
Obligation to pay inheritance duty and duty on gift arises through inheritance
and gifting, respectively as stipulated in Act XCIII of 1990 on Duties.
Obligation to pay inheritance duty pertains to
- all inheritance (legacy) located in Hungary, with no exception;
- movable estate inherited by a Hungarian citizen or a non-Hungarian citizen residing
in Hungary or by a domestic-registered legal entity, where the estate is located
abroad, as well as to rights of pecuniary value that are part of a foreign estate,
if no inheritance duty or tax corresponding thereto is payable in the state in
which such estate is situated.
Verification of the fact of payment of duty or tax abroad is the responsibility
of the heir. The provisions on inheritance duty do not apply to real property
situated abroad.
Obligation to pay duty on gift:
- Provisions governing duties on gifts apply to real property situated in Hungary
and rights representing pecuniary value pertaining thereto, unless otherwise provided
for by an international agreement;
- The provisions of the Act on Duties shall be applied to the acquisition, through
a legal transaction, of moveable property or to rights of pecuniary value pertaining
to movable property if the transfer of such movable property or the acquisition
of such rights of pecuniary value has taken place in Hungary;
-
Waiving the outstanding claim through assignation, transfer of debt or any other
similar way of acquisition of wealth, if the person acquiring the wealth is a
resident private individual as per the Personal Income Tax Act, or is an organisation
registered in Hungary. (If the value of the payment compensation for the acquisition
of the property/real estate quid pro quo is less than 50% of the market value,
a gift tax is to be paid after the difference between the 50% of the market value
and the value of the compensation.)
Duties on transfer of property:
Based on the Act on Duties, acquisition of real property as well as certain movable
property and rights of pecuniary value, for consideration or not subject to duty
on inheritance or gifts in any other way, is subject to a duty on onerous transfer
of property.
Provisions governing duties on onerous transfer of property apply to real property
situated in Hungary, motor vehicle and trailer registered in Hungary, and rights
representing pecuniary value pertaining thereto moreover to holdings in a company
owning real property in Hungary unless otherwise provided for by an international
agreement. The provisions of the Act on Duties shall be applied to the acquisition,
through a legal transaction, of moveable property or rights of pecuniary value
pertaining to movable property – except motor vehicle and trailer registered in
Hungary and holdings in a company owning real property in Hungary –, if the transfer
of such movable property or the acquisition of such rights of pecuniary value
has taken place in Hungary.
The obligation to pay duties applies to the following rights of pecuniary value
and movable property:
- acquisition of rights of pecuniary value related to real property, and acquisition
of property through the termination of such rights;
- cession of the exercise of usufruct enjoyed in respect of real property;
- acquisition of movable property at an auction conducted by an authority;
- acquisition of ownership of, or the rights of pecuniary value pertaining to,
motor vehicles and trailers;
- acquisition of the ownership of, or the rights of pecuniary value pertaining
to, building structures not qualifying as real property and located in public
areas;
- acquisition of the right to conduct independent medical practice;
- acquisition of securities under contract of inheritance
- acquisition of holdings (stocks, business shares, investor share certificates,
converted investor shares) in a company with holdings in real estate properties
located in Hungary.
Obligation to pay duty applies to real property, moveable property and rights
of pecuniary value. For the purposes of the Act on Duties, these shall mean:
-
real property: land and all things inseparably attached to land;
-
movable property: payment instruments, securities, holdings in companies, and all other things not construed as real property;
-
right of pecuniary value: right of dominant tenement and usufruct, right of use – including the rights
of use defined in the provisions concerning cooperative housing property –, right
of asset management and the right of conducting independent medical practice,
right of operation, and claims in connection with gratuitous rights.
